Switching Roles

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,

I just finished Neil Gaiman’s The Sleeper and The Spindle. It was an excellent modern fairytale that if I had any children in my life I would share with them. In many ways it follows the classic fairytale traditions but if you’ve ever read Gaiman’s work you know he likes to throw in twists. It uses a classic sleeping spell. *Spoilers* in this version the witch puts herself to sleep until some breaks the curse waking her. While she sleeps she gains power, youth, and beauty. *Spoilers over* Write a scene that switches things around from the classic roles that might be expected. Or one in which the characters are not who they seem to be. What is their preceived role and what is their actual role? Who was fooled by the way things seemed at first? What cause the truth to become clear?
